Ask HN: Is HN getting more aggressive about killing threads?

Has HN gotten more aggressive about shutting down threads or have I just gotten more political? I saw two threads killed today: the first was the announcement from the freenode staff and the second was on the current state of SF.

It hasn't gotten more aggressive. User flags bring down many political threads, and threads that look like they won't bring productive discussion usually get killed or downranked by moderators.

This is still up; was there some other freenode-related item?

It’s number 433 atm, even though it has over 500 points and a good ratio. Not flagged - buried.
